Story:
Legend has it that to the east of the Bohai Sea, there were five mountains that constantly drifted with the waves.
The Jade Emperor commanded fifteen giant Aos (giant turtles) to hold them up with their heads, thus stabilizing the mountains.
A person from the country of Longbo found it very inconvenient to travel because he had to pass by these five mountains. Learning that they were held up by the Ao, he used bait to fish for them. He consecutively caught six Aos, causing two of the mountains to sink into the sea.
